Unpack the tar file. cd gcc Run ./configure --prefix=DIR --target=sslittle-na-sstrix where DIR is the directory where you want to install the tools and into which you've already installed the simplescalar binutils. You should also have this directory in your PATH gmake This will eventually fail, hopefully with errors building the C++ libraries. If you want to compile C++ programs you'll probably have to figure out how to fix these (let me know please)... I have a sneaky suspicion you might have to build a later version of glibc.. If you're happy just compiling C programs.. cd into the gcc subdirectory gmake install That should do it (if you're lucky..). ***Update 3/28/2003*** The compiler apparently isn't putting things in sdata that should go there. Apply this diff to ss.h to fix the problem: 3366a3367,3376 > /* Given a decl node or constant node, choose the section to output it in > and select that section. */ > > #undef SELECT_RTX_SECTION > #define SELECT_RTX_SECTION(MODE, RTX, ALIGN) \ > ss_select_rtx_section (MODE, RTX) > > #undef SELECT_SECTION > #define SELECT_SECTION(DECL, RELOC, ALIGN) \ > ss_select_section (DECL, RELOC)
